Poll: My favorite Japanese developer is..

Your poll seems to be more about the best publisher rather than the best developer. None of those companies hold a candle to Treasure, but since they are not big enough to publish their own games no one cares about them. I am always extremely saddened when I realize just how much credit the general public will give to publishers who sometimes have nothing at all to do with the game development.

i understand what you mean
but this is just not the poll for Treasure and Natsume and the like..
i hope you understand what i mean

I think we're wondering why this isn't the poll for them? I happen to like Treasure a lot more than Konami, so why would Konami get a place and not Treasure? Also why would Enix, whom were almost entirely known as a publisher be on this list? Is there a reason you excluded most Japanese developers from this list, barring Nintendo and Sony of course because I understand your stance on that issue.
